Invisalign or braces? (Photo)

November 16, 2023
Asked By:Reliable820880 in England, United Kingdom

I consulted two orthodontists and one (20 years of experience) said that I need motion appliances + braces, the second one (2 years of experience) said that for my severe overbite invisalign with elastic will solve some of my problem (around 4mm) . My overbite is 12mm (so extremely severe). I am so confused now. Which one should I chose?

Ira Shapira, DDS says:

You have a narrow maxiila and just looking at the teeth does not tell you very much. I suspect you have Dark Buccal Vestibules and deep nasal labial creases. Expansion may be best approach but too little information from just tooth scans. Do you have a forward head position which is common...
